Fiscal Phonies

Paul Krugman calls out the Republicans for lying about their alleged deficit concerns.  I said this ages ago, (and so did Krugman) but the current details are worth noting - Romney and Ryan, who claim to want to reduce the deficit, won't.  Republicans had no problem with deficits when a Republican was president, under Reagan or Bush.  (And they increased the debt ceiling dozens of times without controversy.)  And Romney's alleged plans to fix the problem would not fix it, but in fact make it much, much worse.

I can deal with disagreeing with someone about an issue, but they don't agree with themselves.
